I'm from Los Angeles & needed to get a mani/pedi while in town. My cousins who frequent this place recommended I try this nail shop & made an appointment for me. I am SO happy they did. The gel color selection is ridiculous -- just rings and rings of color samples. They had my favorite OPI color in gel so of course I defaulted for that (Lincoln Park After Dark). Owner's daughter is so adorable. She helps out around the shop & tends to the entering customers by offering a bottle of water & asking what services were needed. Staff is kind & welcoming as well - they do not ignore you when you walk in like some other nail salons do. I had the first appointment with Gina for a gel manicure & pedicure. She arrived just a minute or two after the shop opened. So kind and friendly - she is extremely thorough & does not rush through the work. She definitely pays attention to detail because as she was doing the manicure, there were a few times when the brushstrokes seemed to leave small streak-lines that were not 100% noticeable. If this was a shop in Los Angeles, it would've been left alone, but Gina made sure to correct it. She also made sure that the color was applied to the entire nail - end to end. Now I understand all the wonderful 5 star reviews about her. She even did my spa pedicure - which to me was unheard of here in Los Angeles - the manicurists ever hardly do pedicures - it was a very humbling touch to my visit. The shop got pretty busy after only 10 minutes of opening & regulars walked in and WAITED - which is another sign of good business. It is fairly small so understand there may be a wait. If I am ever in town again & need to get my nails done I am definitely returning. To all the locals, I recommend this place 110% - you should take advantage!
